Just released! My new tutorial is here 🎄✨

Just over a week to go!

Thrilled to announce that two of my works will be part of the Elements exhibition at Milton Art Gallery, Banchory.
📅 27 Sept – 26 Oct 2025
Hosted by Aberdeen Artists Society, this exhibition brings together exceptional talent — I’m honoured to be included. 🌿

Back in 2019 — which feels like forever ago — I made a couple of modular origami Electra. sculptures. They weren’t my first attempt at origami, but they’re the only two pieces still on display today!
The other day, while watching TV, the light hit them just right… and suddenly, inspiration struck.

My year long IBW colour challenge is all done! And I really like how it’s turned out ☺️ I combined Preciosa PermaLux Matte beads together with sparkly Champagne Miyuki beads and the finished bangle floats beautifully around your wrist!

Now that the Great British Bead Show is over and the workshop was completed successfully, I’m really happy to share with you my Medallion Pendant!

While getting ready for the upcoming GBBS event in Daventry, I thought that it was high time to make a needle case for myself ☺️ I have a lot of Tulip needles tubes and decided to reuse one of them. And of course it had to be in my favourite colour combo of black, white and red! Hope you like ☺️
